The report was put in this form at the suggestion of the Chief of the recent University 


_ survey (1914). He further suggested that all library workers might wish to check them- 


selves for their own efficiency. If you wish a blank for yourself, we will gladly send one on 


request, also for your assistants, if desired. For further suggestions on this point, see Per- 


sonal Efficiency Test, by Purinton, Independent, Nov. 30, 1914, p. 323.
